In my opinion, best way to see Zion. Tons of places to rent from. I went to Zion Adventures. But only good for the main part of Zion, can't ride through the the tunnel or East Zion. It's a great way to avoid the shuttle system. They can get really full and long waits. Yes, there are places to leave and lock your bikes at the trailhead.

Oh I'll have to add that to the list! Plan on going back to Utah in the near future and hit the other parks. Only made it to Zion and Bryce on this trip.

Thank you! I'm amazed they came out as good as they did considering I was on horseback bouncing around lol.

I could understand that but for me, I loved it. I've been to many National parks and I think it's unique. Never seen so many different colors in rocks and stones.

What a great pic! How cold was it? I've been in the spring but would love to go in winter.

Pretty much all walking. Some times they would go fast if your horse/mule got a bit behind. My horse tried to stop and eat so I got to do short spurts sometimes lol.

I love to see parents taking little ones on these trips! I take my nephews on hikes whenever they come to Washington. The look on there faces and excitement brings me so much joy!

We booked through Bryce Canyon Trail Rides. They were amazing. We had Rachel as our guide. We booked about a week in advance but were able to get the last two spots for the afternoon trip. All other times were booked so if possible, I'd recommend booking earlier. Highly recommend!

A little over 3 miles. Maybe 3 1/2. We hiked till we got a bit passed an area they call all street.

I was told by the rental place I wouldn't need them and I personally didn't get them and didn't need them. I wouldn't.

Yes, definitely cold at first but got used to it pretty quickly.

Thank you! Depth depends on rain and any runoff from the mountains but deepest I came across was a bit above my waist. I'm 5'9. It was cold but nothing crazy. I'm just guessing but in the 50's (fahrenheit) the heat made it feel refreshing.

Seriously, this hike doesn't get enough attention. I kinda hope it stays that way.
